Food Intolerance and Enzyme Deficiencies go together “hand in hand”. The reason you may not be able to tolerate a particular food is because you are unable to digest it properly.
Even though your pancreas is working overtime churning out extra enzymes, they are ineffective and the extra effort chips away at your body’s enzyme potential as well as existing stores.
Unique to You
These intolerances are unique to the individual, driven by various factors including your activity level, metabolic rate and genetic background.
This is why certain foods may cause trouble for you and not for others. Most people with food intolerances, however, fall into one of three categories:
They can’t digest carbohydrates (sugars and starches),
they can’t digest proteins, or
they can’t digest fats
Some unfortunate people have problems with all three.
If you are unable to properly digest one of these food groups, you may experience all kinds of health problems, some of which may not appear to have a connection to food sensitivities or digestion.
Your body needs carbohydrates, proteins and fats to support various functions so simply avoiding them may not be the best course of action from a total health standpoint.
Having said that, if your body is unable to process the food properly and utilize these nutrients, they can do more harm than good.
There is Hope
The good news is, in most cases, the combination of proper diet and enzyme supplements will clear up any toxicity and relieve you of the symptoms you may be experiencing. (For more information go back to my page on

So let’s take a closer look at how each of these food groups influences your health.
Carbohydrates
If you are not able to properly digest carbohydrates you will frequently experience symptoms such as hay fever, environmental allergies, and mold allergies.

Proteins
If you have trouble digesting protein you will likely have cravings for protein rich foods and will experience digestive stress or upset shortly after eating a meal.
